fix(web): server updates no longer look like warnings

[t3dotgg]

Updating a server showed an amber warning banner with a triangle icon and a green/blue stepper, which made a routine "one moment please" delay feel like something was wrong. Worse, refreshing mid-update stacked two alarming banners: "Client and server versions differ" (with a dead Update button) on top of "Failed to connect. Reconnecting...".

The update banner is now calm and monochrome. Done steps recede to gray, the active step is the only bright element and pulses with the existing duty-cycled animation, and the redundant status sentence is gone. Failures still get full error treatment.

Reconnecting to a version-skewed server (the refresh case, or the reconnect blip during resume) now collapses both banners into a single quiet "Reconnecting - it may be finishing an update" line. The version-mismatch banner with its Update action only returns if the server comes back still on the old version.

Low Risk
UI-only changes to composer banners and update progress presentation; no auth, data, or server logic changes.

Overview
In-progress server updates and version-skew reconnects now use calm default composer banners (pulsing dot) instead of warning triangles and amber styling, so routine waits don’t read as errors.

Banner stacking is reduced: when reconnecting during version skew with no failed update, unavailable and version-mismatch banners merge into one quiet “Connecting/Reconnecting… it may be finishing an update” line; the version banner with Update only returns if the server is still skewed after reconnect. During an active update, transient reconnect blips hide the unavailable banner unless the connection is in a hard error phase.

ServerUpdateProgress is a monochrome step rail—muted checks for done steps, pulsing dot on the active step with labels like “Resuming”, no per-stage status line except on failure; serverLabel is removed from the component and all call sites. ComposerBannerStackItem adds a default variant for these cases.

Note

Fix server update banners to use neutral styling instead of warning appearance

• The server update progress rail in ServerUpdateAction.tsx is now monochrome: completed steps show a faint check, the active step pulses, and no status sentence is shown while running (only errors surface an alert).
• Transient 'environment unavailable' warnings are suppressed in ChatView.tsx when a server update is running and the environment is reconnecting.
• Version-skew reconnects without an active update now show a single calm 'Connecting/Reconnecting' banner (variant: 'default') instead of an error/warning banner.
• ServerUpdateProgress no longer accepts or displays a serverLabel prop; call sites in ConnectionsSettings.tsx are updated accordingly.

Approvability

Verdict: Approved d11e4eb

UI polish change that makes server update banners appear calmer (default variant instead of warning, monochrome progress indicators instead of colorful ones). Self-contained visual refinement with no runtime behavior impact beyond presentation.
